Defenders of Bataan and Corregidor Congressional Gold Medal Act
Sponsored By: Representative Leger Fernandez, Teresa [D-NM-3]
Introduced
Summary
A collective Congressional Gold Medal would honor people who fought for or with the United States against Imperial Japan in the Pacific and who became prisoners of war between December 8, 1941 and August 15, 1945. The bill defines eligible individuals, directs the Secretary of the Treasury to design and strike the medal and give it to the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History for display, allows the Mint to sell bronze duplicates to cover costs, and authorizes use of the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund to pay medal expenses.

Mint can sell bronze medal copies
If enacted, the Secretary of the Treasury would be allowed to strike and sell bronze duplicates of the congressional gold medal honoring defenders of Bataan and Corregidor. The Mint would set sale prices high enough to cover production costs, including labor, materials, dies, use of machinery, and overhead. Proceeds from those sales would be deposited into the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund, and the Mint would be authorized to charge that Fund for medal costs. These authorities would take effect upon enactment.
